Flow Cytometry in Laboratory Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

Flow cytometry is a powerful analytical technique widely employed in laboratory medicine for the comprehensive assessment of cells and particles. In laboratory medicine, flow cytometry plays a pivotal role in clinical diagnostics, immunology, hematology and oncology.

In clinical diagnostics, flow cytometry aids in the identification and characterization of various cell types, enabling an accurate diagnosis of diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma. Immunology benefits from the precise quantification of immune cells, facilitating the understanding of immune responses and disorders. Hematology applications include analyzing blood cell populations, detecting abnormalities and monitoring treatment efficacy. Additionally, flow cytometry significantly contributes to cancer research by enabling the identification of specific cell markers associated with malignancies.

This Special Issue hopes to highlight the versatility of flow cytometry in addressing diverse medical challenges, making it an indispensable tool for researchers and healthcare professionals in their pursuit of accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.
